Hu Shanrong's background made the administrator's scalp numb, especially when he learned that he was a murderer with a criminal record. He inevitably had a bad association and asked nervously: "You mean, A Bao was raped by him..."

Dirk shook his head slightly: "No matter what grudges there are between Hu Shanrong and A Bao, I personally think that he did not kill A Bao directly. A wealthy businessman like A Bao is much more useful alive than dead. So in my opinion, A Bao

The disappearance was probably because he was kidnapped by Hu Shanrong. Hu Shanrong disappeared a few days ago and was probably planning this matter."

The administrator was already scolding his mother in his heart. He didn't tie her up earlier or later, but he came to Lulin City to tie her up. This is really a big deal! He gritted his teeth and asked: "What do you think we should do now?"

Dirk said without hesitation: "The entire Lulin City is under complete lockdown and we are searching every house, but I'm afraid the hope will be slim... Hu Shanrong must be fully prepared if he dares to do such a thing. He may have taken A Bao with him now."

Fleeed outside Lulin City."

The administrator took a breath: "What should we do? We can't handle such a big matter. Should we report this matter to the provincial capital immediately?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Dirk was so frightened that he quickly pulled the administrator aside and advised, "This matter cannot be known to the superiors! At least not now! A Bao was kidnapped in Lulin City. We

He is the first person responsible. If we just report him like this, we will be doomed! We will be blamed for everything. Do you want to be treated as an outcast?"

The administrator suddenly frowned: "I would like to close the door and solve this matter myself, but with the strength of Lulin City's troops, the search scope can cover the subordinate towns at most. What if Hu Shanrong escapes from our search scope?"

This problem also made Dirk difficult. They could hide this kind of thing for a while, and if they could solve the problem later, they would be able to escape the disaster. But if they didn't hide it until the problem was solved later, they still couldn't escape.

Dirk was thinking about it and suddenly remembered something: "Did Po come to Twilight City first before coming to our Lulin City?"

"Yes." The administrator nodded.

Dirk suddenly had an idea: "I have an idea. Let's leave immediately for the Twilight City to find the Archon Kino Van Helsing."

The administrator seemed to be grasping at straws and asked hurriedly: "Will he help us?"

"This has nothing to do with whether to help or not!" Dirk paced back and forth, sometimes loosening and sometimes tightening his fists, and analyzed clearly, "The two of us are neither capable enough to solve the current situation, nor can we afford the consequences, so

We have to muddy the waters and drag down those who are above us."

"Before Po came to Lulin City, he went to Dusk City first. We just need to unify the message internally first, and then report to the Archon of Kino, saying that we have received a notice that Po is coming to Lulin City, but he didn't

Meet people.”

"When Po arrived at Lulin City, the responsibility was ours, but as long as he did not arrive at Lulin City and claimed that he had an accident on the way out of Twilight City, the responsibility had nothing to do with us, and the pressure would naturally fall on Archon Kino.

On the body."

"In this way, the first person responsible for this matter will become Archon Kino, and he will be responsible for everything, and we can hide behind!"

The administrator didn't have any opinion, and this method sounded good, so he nodded heavily: "Just do as you say!"

...

During the following period, the administrator of Lulin City first sealed off the entire city in the name of a military rehearsal, prohibited all personnel from entering and exiting, and sent soldiers to search for the whereabouts of A Bao and Hu Shanrong from house to house.

Immediately afterwards, the administrator convened a secret meeting to unify his message and declared that Po had not arrived at Lulin City, but was missing on the way from Dusk City to Lulin City.

Externally, the administrative officer investigated everyone who witnessed Bao drinking in the pub last night and sealed them all.

After doing this, the administrator and Dirk set off from Lulin City and rushed to Twilight City at starry night to look for Kino.

The two people did not dare to delay at all on the road. They kept changing fast horses at the inns along the way. Except for taking care of themselves, they ate, drank and slept on the horses.

Resting on horseback is different from sleeping on a bed. It is bumpy all the way, which makes your buttocks numb. It is not a stable sleep at all, and you will wake up if you bump around.

When they arrived at Twilight City, they were so tired that their eyes were filled with stars, they were dizzy, their eyes had dark circles as if they were smeared with carbon dust, and their clothes were wrinkled, like two destitute beggars.

Nicole happened to be passing by the gate of the Consul's Mansion. She saw two people approaching on horseback and stopped them with a sharp shout: "Who are they? Stop and get off your horse!"

The administrator was the first to get off his horse. His legs were numb from riding for too long and he stumbled.

He didn't even bother to dust off his knees, and took out the administrator's badge from his pocket: "Deerwood City Administrator Bill, I have something to ask of Archon Kino. Please take me to see him immediately."

With a badge symbolizing her identity, Nicole seemed very polite: "It turns out that I am a colleague of the Archon. Please come in."

Bill and Dirk passed by Nicole in a hurry. For a moment, they accidentally met Nicole's gaze. I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a faint smile hidden in those eyes...

Under the guidance of the palace guards, Bill and Dirk were taken to the living room. It was obviously night, but the inside was brightly lit with candles.

Bill asked cautiously: "Is the Archon meeting guests?"

After asking, Bill found that the guards left directly without giving him any answer.

The two of them just wanted to get rid of the blame quickly, so they quickly walked into the living room: "Lord Consul, it's really too late to disturb you late at night..."

Before they could finish the words "Sorry", they froze.

Kino was indeed meeting with guests tonight, and they were distinguished guests. They were none other than Lesakhar, the former "Governor-General" of Fenghuo Province, who was exercising the powers of "Acting Governor" after Edward was suspended for investigation.

I don't know what the two people were talking about, but judging from their relaxed expressions, it seemed like it wasn't anything official.

When Kino saw someone entering the living room, he was stunned for a moment and asked: "Who are you two?"

Lesakhar kept his gaze fixed and said, "Hey, you are the administrator and security captain of Lulin City, right?"

He added in a low voice to Chino: "I have met at the annual meeting in the capital before."

Kino nodded, looked at the dull two people, and asked doubtfully: "Why did you two visit Twilight City late at night? I received a letter from my friend Abao a few days ago. He said that he had already stayed in Lulin City. You guys

Didn't you stay there to entertain him?"

Kino received a letter from Po? Bill and Dirk were immediately frightened out of their wits.

Now Abao is missing. The matter of disappearance is irreversible. The key is where he is missing.

Missing in Lulin City - the fault of both of them.

Missing on the road from Twilight City to Lulin City - they are not responsible.

They originally had a unified approach and wanted to erase the fact that Po arrived in Lulin City and put aside the responsibility.

But Kino now said that he received a letter from Abao!

With this letter, it is confirmed that Abao has arrived in Lulin City.

In this way, the two of them's pre-planned plan to dump the blame was completely ruined!
Chapter completed!
